What kind of database? Flat file, column store, graph, relational, document? Will it need to provide realtime information? Will it need to be distributed? Which is more important: consistency or availability?

My point being that "database design" is non-trivial to the point that "cut and paste" is at the application level not the schema level.

Good luck.
